In forex or in any market Intraday Trading means to trade in short times. For example, to open a trade at 10.00h and close it at 10.30h or so. Also you can do scalping that is the same but to open and exit a trade within seconds or a few minutes.

Day trading means trade for one day to another. For example you open a long in gbp/usd at 1.6800 on monday, and close it on tuesday at 1.6950, for a profit of 150 pips.

Each trader has to know wich style of trading is better for him. A lot of traders feel comfortable doing scalping or intraday, and others can´t do that and they do daytrading.

Day trading is easier but you have to forget about the market noise and have to have the patience for waiting until the price go for your target. In IntraDay trading you can find little trends in minutes or hours, and close until the next day.

If you are new, perhaps is better day trading, but you have to trade to know what is comfortable and easier for you.
